Gary, If you must stay with DOS I would recommend that you update to v7.6 for DOS. Unless you are doing something strange or are using variable forms the change should be transparent. That way you can continue to develop the windows version and revert to DOS for situations such as you just described. V7.6 for DOS and v7.6 for WINDOWS can coexist in the same v7.6 database.

It sounds crazy. The report works great in 4.5 bit in 7.6 the data arrives incomplete, some data omitted and some data out of order. I think I will have to revert back to 4.5. Keeping two data bases up todate is a little cumbersome. Thanks for your suggestion.
